CTO

What is it that you do at The Techno Creatives?

As CTO at The Techno Creatives I get to work with an awesome group of developers and designers. My main responsibility is to provide the best possible support and working environment for our developers and grow the team through careful recruitment. But I also get to work with customer relations, active project management, and, thankfully, the occasional coding tasks.

What were you doing before you came to The Techno Creatives?

I was working as a software developer and entrepreneur in Taiwan for 6 years. After moving back to Sweden and Gothenburg I got experience in the automotive industry working as a consultant software developer and project manager. Throughout my career I´ve always had an interest and focus on digital products and services on nomadic devices. Its exiting to see the trends and technologies that has dominated the smartphone and tablet market now more into the automotive and transportation domain, and at The Techno Creatives I get to be a part of this.
